EquiJewel 20kg The World’s Most Tried and Trusted Topline Conditioner Equi-Jewel® is a scientifically formulated high-fat, low-starch, and cool-energy conditioner. Equi-Jewel is the original, research-proven stabilised rice bran product for horses and is the only conditioning supplement to include KER BMC™ to buffer the digestive tract. This, combined with Equi-Jewel’s proven track record, make it the go-to topline conditioner for horse owners, leading trainers and breeding farms around the world. Support Gastric Health Equi-Jewel contains KER BMC, a unique source of marine-derived calcium shown to be more highly digestible than other forms of calcium typically used in feeds. KER BMC has been shown to buffer stomach acid to bolster gastric health and reduce the incidence of ulcers, as well as moderate the pH of the hindgut to prevent acidosis. Equi-Jewel also contains linoleic acid which has been shown to reduce gastric acid secretion and increase output of protective prostaglandins, making Equi-Jewel an important component in the diet of horses at risk of gastric ulcers and hindgut disturbances. Research Proven In a scientific study conducted by Kentucky Equine Research, researchers compared the effects of feeding Equi-Jewel and corn oil. During strenuous exercise, horses fed Equi-Jewel had lower lactic acid levels than horses fed corn oil. The inclusion of Equi-Jewel as a substitute for corn oil in rations also resulted in lower heart rates and subsequently shorter recovery periods. Low GI Index The glycemic index (GI) of a feed is the measure of blood glucose levels in response to feeding. A low-GI feed produces lower spikes in blood glucose. This slower release of energy decreases the risk of disorders such as developmental orthopaedic disease, laminitis, digestive problems, and equine metabolic syndrome.
